How To Stop Popups

I've been getting quite a few popups with audio and all. The thing is I can't see them, but I can hear the audio from the pages. Sometimes when I minimize a program, I'll spot a browser window before it minimizes itself and disappears.I had a few spyware programs that I was able to remove with Spybot and HijackThis, but I can't get rid of the hidden popups. Please help.
